A Perfect Match is Found
_Some people love the valleys.
_Some people love the mountains.
_Some people love the oceans.
_I love the flowing fountains.
_Some people love the forests,
_While some people love the glens.
_Some love the mountain meadows,
_While I love writing pens.
_Some people love the cities.
_While some people love the malls.
_Some people love their little towns,
_And I love waterfalls.
_Some love their rainy days.
_And others love the sun.
_Some love their archery,
_And some of us love guns.
We all find different things to love
_That make the world go round,
For everything that we might love,
_A perfect match is found.

Yes Sir, and some people love formal poetry! Thanks for the very pleasant read, Roy!
Thank you, Russel. Happy New Year to you!
Perfectly sound thinking, Roy. Hope you find a fresh flowing fountain pen for a Happy New Year!
Thank you, Margaret! One of my goals is to be flowing in 2026. Happy New Year and may your writing continue to flow beautifully.
Sunrises do it for me.
A quietly positive piece. Just light for the festive season.
A delightful poem, Roy, complemented with Evan’s exquisite selection of art.
